Your Path to Franchise Ownership

While other franchise systems are motivated by commission, our development professionals are here to ensure you’re ready to party with us at Pump It Up. Our goal is to help you decide if we align with your professional, financial and personal goals. Follow along below with our streamlined 7-step path to ownership to get the information you need to join our team.

Review The Website

Use this website as your reference guide as it provides you with lots of great information to help decide if Pump It Up is the right fit and we are constantly adding more! Click on any of the links in the upper navigation to learn more about owning a Pump It Up franchise.

Submit an Application

To own a Pump It Up, all candidates must have a minimum net worth of $500,000. In addition, candidates must have access to $200,000 in liquid funds ($100,000 if purchasing an existing store that is for sale).

After submitting your preliminary application, a member of our development team will be in touch to guide you through the franchisee qualification process.

Complete the Franchisee Qualification Process

Our experienced development team will guide you through the 9-step qualification process. The entire process can take anywhere between 30 to 60 days to complete. Here are the steps:

Introductory Phone Interview

Signing of Confidentiality Agreement

Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) review

Submission of formal application

Pump It Up Brand Vision Presentation

Franchisee Validation Calls

Discovery Day in Scottsdale, AZ

Yes/No Decision

Execution of Franchise Agreement

Select A Site

You will work with a local real estate broker, picked by you, to help you find the ideal location. Once you find a potential site, you will work hand-in-hand with our construction team to develop layouts for your building, review architectural plans and ensure your construction schedule stays on time.

This process is typically the most time consuming. It is important to hire a qualified local real estate broker, architect and contractor to ensure you can get your Pump It Up open as soon as possible. The entire process can take anywhere between 3 and 8 months.

Complete our Store Opening Process

We have created an extensive 170-item checklist to ensure you will not miss a beat when it comes to ensuring your store is ready to open on time and fully operational. In addition, you will have weekly calls with a pre-opening specialist who will guide you throughout the process.

We have everything you need to know on how to open a store effectively and efficiently! The entire Store Opening Process can take anywhere between 3 and 5 months.

Promote your Opening

About 4 weeks before your opening date, you will work with our Mission Control team to promote your business. From building your website to ensuring your digital marketing program is strong and ready to go, we strive to make sure kids and parents alike know you are coming to their town before you open your doors!
